Excercising your wrists and arms is absolutely one of the best ways to avoid RSI in my experience. I think the advantages of using ergonomic layouts are perhaps overstated in some cases, I find that if I allow my hands to 'float' a little and move around more freely my fingers find the keys easily, and I don't need to worry about planting my wrists in a fixed position and having them at an uncomfortable angle.
I imagine ergonomic designs probably makes the most sense for people that do large volumes of typing with high WPM. For me I just really like the compact layout of my FC660C, small boards allow me to have a mouse either side, swapping mouse hands is another great way to avoid RSI.
- SamReidHughes 5y agoI think I would have liked the FC660C. I once had an HHKB2, but using the Fn modifier for arrows was too much. I have to say, I found the Kinesis Advantage to be fantastic. It really did work, solving my ergonomic problems, wonderfully and very quickly. The need for it did depend on the volume of typing -- back when I used it, I switched off of it, but then had to switch back after some days with more typing.
